Master of Science [M.Sc] [Archaeological Science] From Durham University

It focuses particularly on the organic remains of humans, animals and plants which is a rapidly developing and exciting field of archaeometry. Major global themes such as animal and plant domestication and human migration and diet will be explored integrating evidence from a range of sub-disciplines in environmental and biomolecular archaeology.

Students taking this course will study and work in a range of environmental, DNA, isotope and dating laboratories alongside expert academic staff.

The aim of this programme is to enable you to:

• Devise and carry out in-depth study in archaeological science
• Analyse and interpret results
• Communicate scientific results to a variety of audiences
• Develop the inter-disciplinary skills (cultural and scientific) to work effectively in archaeology.
